Arzota, ironically going this way to meet a Kha contact, stopped in his tracks as he caught the limp body of Scicle from the corner of his eyes; walking over slowly as he arched his neck, making doubly sure of the pelt... Speeding up soon after. As he reached the body, Arzota dropped to a knee, roundabout falling to his side as he looked over the corpse, eyes wide with shock.
Before him lay his first mentor, his first commander, his first real friend before the Kameki. He shook his head some, memories of the training pits along with the blue and white robes running rampant through his head. He desperately shook the body, not wanting to accept that this Kha was gone, stopping after a few minutes... becoming aware of the questions that may be asked of another were to see him doing so.
Arzota let out a shuddering breath, a tear running down his cheek... burning the whole way down as it dropped onto Scicle's body. He remained silent then, time passing as the sun arced across the sky, and the midday heat growing. Finally Arzota would stand, gathering Scicle's staff and carefully flipping his body over. He crossed Scicle's paws over his chest and placing the staff down his front. "Farewell my friend... I never really thought it would come to this, yet here we are." he mutters sadly, standing fully upright now and reaching into his pack.
"I know it won't mean much to you, but it will for me." He whispers, drawing out a single chipped blade, deep emerald in color and worn from age. "The other was cracked beyond belief... you hang onto this one alright?" he asked, voice faltering some as he sets it down next to the staff and takes a step back. farther.
Composing himself a moment, Arzota righted himself, staring to the body and giving a series of nods in it's direction... anyone nearby who understood the Elysian code would note something to the extent of: 'May you bread fight amongst the gods.'. Without another word, Arzota would start off again... all sadness washing from his face, and into a deep pit below the surface, where all was stored.
